The directions: Create a variable named greeting_list that's the string "Hi, I'm Treehouse" split on the spaces.

It seems the task is to split on the spaces for the string, "Hi, I'm Treehouse."

full_name= ('dana a yousif')
name_list= 'dana a yousif'.split()
# the list() method doesn't split.
greeting_list =  list('hi, iam Treehouse')

# we want to use the split method here
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()

Hope this helps.

Also, make sure you use proper punctuation and capitalization; 'Hi, I'm Treehouse', instead of 'hi, iam Treehouse'.
